Über diesen Titel
To Angus, things couldn't be more perfect. Sure, he still has to deal with an aging body in the outside world that won't allow him to do much.... But he's found solace in Alterwelt, a virtual world where he can craft to his heart's content and indulge in his life's true passion. Spending his time between fulfilling orders and expanding his ever-growing smithing guild, Hephaestus is living the dream, so to speak.
But maybe, just maybe, things were a little too perfect.
As he'll quickly learn, there's a growing movement gaining traction in the real world; Moralizers who denounce all the violence and depravity that pervade virtual worlds. Their demands are simple: They want the "games" neutered; they want Alterwelt and other Imperium spaces strictly regulated, which could threaten the world Angus has come to call his home.
Behind the movement stands one familiar foe: Lord Liberath, the same individual Hephaestus had managed to oust when the blacksmith had been accused of item hacking.

Major flaw ruins the big plot
A big misinterpretation of how shares and owning a majority of them work, compared to being the CEO of a company. The CEO is depicted of still being the owner and can do what he wants, while the main character is the majority shareholder of the company. The main antagonist would be completely powerless in the real world. In this book, he still does, what he wants, because he is the CEO. This and other plot holes completely ruin the main plotline.

Westworld meets ready player one
To be honest, this one was a drudge. I got to it because the first book in the series – although flawed was an enjoyable enough listen. The characters where charming, the tale simple enough. This time around the plot holes were simply too big – and tempered with an air of….see I’m aware this is a plot hole my characters even address it and tell you to don’t mind.
I think this one could have done with a hefty dose of show don’t tell. The book keeps telling me Hepheistos and Alistera have been a couple for a virtual lifetime – but at the start of it they still hackle with the concept of it. It never feels like they have fallen into a comfortable routine of knowing each other by heart.
Then there is this whole complication of live-extending measurements. With people essentially living their lives within the game and not quite leaving behind mortal bodies – if you give one company a basic unruled monopoly over what to do with real live extending means – wouldn’t there be a regulating body? You simply can’t just fuck over the majority of your paying customers – even provoke deaths….and don’t have a declining player base? Or lawsuits up your butt?
Money runs the world and dead people combined with a desolated game. Again, something they try to address. But never really get around.
All in all this book tries to be a high-stakes book but the feeling never truly sets in because the main character seemingly treats every threat like there is none.
Sadly the first installment of the series was much better!
